Plum lies after Robinson, Saint-Michel, and the river of Boulari, which is also called Coulée. Before the bridge, locate the track on your left towards the Source mountain. Do not take it and extend for one kilometre to the intersection. All right is the road to Yaté. Turn right and commit yourself to PR 2. You round the Mont-Dore on your left, and you go along the coast. The islets of the lagoon, including Ndé Island, appear nearby. After crossing the Mont-Dore on the RT 2 bis, and cross a succession of villas in gardens full of hibiscus, bougainvilleas, crotons and banana trees, you see the bay of Monéa and Plum emerge before you. At the crossing, the road that continues straight to Plum. Turn left instead and climb 88 m of difference in Plum Pass.The landscape is a bit lunar. A look at the right: you can see about windmills you find on postcards. These wind turbines, 35 m high and 20 m long blades, are juchées on hills dominating Plum Military Camp. They were installed in 1996, from Denmark in spare parts, and six months were required for assembly. They provide one third of the electric energy needs of the commune of Mont-Dore. A wind, lasting between 50 and 90 km/h, allows them to achieve their maximum yield. These wind turbines are designed to withstand gusts of 280 km/h. However, as soon as the wind exceeds the speed of 90 km/h, the blades are stopped. You can see them more closely at the top of Is Pass.
